Pitcher [1]
pich´ẽr ( כּד , kadh ; κεράμιον , kerámion ): The word is found chiefly in the Old Testament in the story of Rebekah in Genesis 24:13 ff; but Gideon's men also had their lamps in pitchers ( Judges 7:16 , Judges 7:19 ). Ecclesiastes speaks of the pitcher broken at the fountain ( Ecclesiastes 12:6 ). The single use in the New Testament is in Mark 14:13 parallel Luke 22:10 . The pitcher was an earthenware vessel (compare Lamentations 4:2 , nēbhel ), with one or two handles, used for carrying water, and commonly borne upon the head or shoulder (compare Gen 24).
